I had a great day with a few of my friends from the Pembrokeshire Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers. We were looking at ways of making cards from our work and decided to try and produce a postcard of this panel which has recently been finished by some of our members.
Working in freeform crochet the team involved used only yarns which had been hand spun and hand dyed with natural dyes such as indigo, woad, weld and madder etc. Each panel depicts a different place in Pembrokeshire and it is a really effective piece. It is something we shall exhibit and take to local shows to help explain what we do - hopefully to encourage new members too!
The weather was sunny and warm today - it really did feel like Spring. We all messed about with cameras, paints, scanning in images and sticking things down and in between we drank lots of tea!
